A Toast to Champagne Flutes

Tis' the season… to celebrate! Whether it be with family and friends at the usual occasions, or in recognition of the smaller joys in life — new shoes, successful potty-training, crafty prowess or genius shopping skills — chances are, there's a toast that'll need to be made soon.

With their elongated shape and small surface area, flutes are specially designed to retain carbonation, allowing for maximum bubble animation and admiration. Champagne is the classic bubbly of choice, however, Prosecco (my fave — less expensive!) and non-alcoholic sparkling ciders work wonderfully too.

So, grab a glass, or two, or four, and fill 'er up! Drink to your health, your wealth, your wisdom and your wit. (Or at the very least…to finally vacuuming behind the fridge.)
